How and what we eat affects every aspect of physical and emotional health and how our body functions.

Healthful eating is integral to overall health and wellness, including setting the stage for a healthy pregnancy. Whether your goal is to manage your weight, control a health problem, or simply learn how to fit healthy eating and activity into your lifestyle, our nutritionist at the Domar Center will help you develop a personalized plan utilizing a non-dieting, behavior-based approach.

Nutrition counseling is available for a variety of concerns, including weight control and women’s health issues, as well as for management (or prevention) of health problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes/prediabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, cancer, eating disorders, and polycystic ovary syndrome.
